ParanoidKitten: Dear readers, trigger warning for the end of this chapter. Descriptions of cruelty, prepare tissues if you’re easy to tear up.
It starts with the paragraph beginning with: “This was Fang He’s past.” Until the end of the chapter. Happy crying? *grabs tissues*
Li Zhen chose a location that was not too close to their one person and one cat. The strong vibration caused the alarm to sound, and a powerful mental force spread throughout the entire laboratory, meticulously searching every place.
Li Zhen let that mental force sweep through him. There was no doubt that from the moment he entered the laboratory, the five psychic mutants responsible for the safety of the entire experimental area were already familiar with him, so after scanning his body, they moved to other places.
Li Zhen held Fang He firmly, as he leaned down slightly. Although he could not feel their mental force anymore, he still had that inexplicable feeling of being stared at.
After the mental power swept through, Cheng Qidong’s steady figure appeared behind Li Zhen. He looked at Li Zhen with a smile and said, “There is a small accident, but it will be resolved soon.”
Li Zhen nodded. Cheng Qidong then suddenly looked at the kitten Li Zhen was holding, “The one who broke into the base recently was a zombie cat. It was the first zombie animal I’ve ever seen. I have done a lot of experiments, animals are not easily infected with the zombie virus, but once infected, they will inevitably die. Li Zhewn, are you interested in doing research with me when I catch this zombie cat?”
When being watched by Cheng Qidong’s gentle eyes, Fang He’s fur all over his body was about to explode. His cat claws tightly grasped Li Zhen’s sleeve, and Li Zhen quietly stroked Fang He’s fur without responding.
Cheng Qidong chuckled lightly, then reached out and patted Li Zhen’s shoulder, and unexpectedly discovered that his mental force had penetrated into Li Zhen’s consciousness. He only needed to wait for a while before he could easily get the original structure of the zombie virus. Cheng Qidong then turned back to his office with satisfaction.
At this moment, Fang He was slightly relieved, then from his cat paw poked out a small vine ball he was holding, “The zombie cat he was talking about was Xiao Baiqiu who came to save Xiao Sang, right? Shouldn’t we have brought it in with us?
Inside the small vine ball was Xiao Baiqiu that was suppressed by Li Zhen’s mind power. Its domain space was also forced to shrink into the size of the vine ball by Li Zhne. After Fang He wrapped it around in a vine, he carried it all the way into the laboratory. At this time, it was screaming and struggling inside the vine ball. It was just that Li Zhen had warned it before, so it only dared to open its mouth and wailed silently.
It saw its little zombie just now, and now it was eager to go out and save its exclusive little zombie.
Li Zhen released Xiao Baiqiu’s suppression and quickly told it to make as much noise as possible. Xiao Baiqiu nodded vigorously, freed himself from the vine ball and immediately ran to the place where it had seen Xiao Sang before.
Fang He was a little worried, “Will it be caught?”

At this time, there was a loud noise in the corridor, and a large number of mutant guards gathered in that direction, and within a few minutes, the damaged laboratory was repaired by mutants.
Fang He looked at the mutants, they were obviously all high-leveled mutants created by Cheng Qidong.
Li Zhen touched Fang He’s head soothingly, then expanded Cheng Qidong’s mental force, which was incorporated into his body. In an instant, his whole person felt different. Fang He looked at Li Zhen gloomily. Now Li Zhen gave him the same feeling as Cheng Qidong.
Meanwhile, Xiao Baiqiu continued to try to save Xiao Sang by attracting most of the mutant guards.
So when Li Zhen and Fang He went all the way to the place where the five psychic mutants gathered, they only encountered one or two mutants, and all of them were easily fooled by Li Zhen.
Seeing that they were about to reach the position of the five psychic mutants, Li Zhen suddenly stood still, he didn’t sense the five psychic mutants inside as he imagined. Fang He then stepped on Li Zhen’s arm with his cat paws, “Li Zhen?”
Li Zhen touched Fang He’s head. Time was running out. He had to lift the laboratory defenses before Wei Panjiang and the others started. Li Zhen slammed open the door in front of him, and what he saw was horrifying. The skulls of the five psychic mutants were open, and countless wires were embedded deep in their brains. Finally, the five wires were joined together and connected to a device to which the meteorite was attached.
Li Zhen again felt disgusted by Cheng Qidong and shattered the latter’s mental force along with the mental forces of these five people, resulting in the sudden activation of the defense power. Li Zhen raised his hand and sent Fang He outside the range first while using his mind power to resist the attack.
The instant collision of the two forces made Fang He dizzy, as if his consciousness had been stabbed by a nail, stirring his nerves, and it took a lot of energy just to stand up from the ground. Seeing Li Zhen fighting with a tense face, Fang He gritted his teeth, and instantly took out a lightning ball and threw it in the direction of the meteorite.
However, not only did the meteorite not suffer any damage, on the contrary, it easily absorbed the power of the lightning ball.
Fang He looked at Li Zhen nervously. Fortunately, the lightning ball he chose was not the most powerful, and did not affect Li Zhen. Fang He looked at the five immobilized psychic mutants, but did not dare to throw more lightning balls again.
There was a loud noise at the door, the guards had already rushed over. Fang He quickly dashed to the door, looked around and threw a few lightning balls over. This instantly blasted several mutant guards by the door into pieces, but the passage also collapsed, blocking the way in.
Fang He turned his head to look at Li Zhen, he guessed that the two forces were still clashing, and the meteorite on the device was constantly emitting a powerful force. Fang He faintly heard the excited whimper of Xiao Baiqiu outside. However, Fang He knew that this was not a good thing. Perhaps the zombies outside the base were also getting excited at this time. Not being able to keep track of what was going on outside, he could only hope that the latest arrangements on the first line of defense would have some effect.
Now that he and Li Zhen, along with the haphazard impact of Xiao Baiqiu, were attracting the attention of the laboratory, he hoped that Yang Fei and the others would not encounter many obstacles when they went through the secret passage.
Fang He cheered up and took out more lightning balls to fight against the mutants who broke into the broken passage again.
The levels of the mutants rushing over were getting higher and higher. Although Fang He’s speed was fast, and his aim of throwing the lightning balls was high, he couldn’t stand the increasing number of mutants. Fang He looked back at Li Zhen from time to time, and after Fang He had repelled another wave of attack, the noise at the other end of the corridor suddenly stopped.
Fang He looked at the entrance of the passage vigilantly. A figure suddenly appeared, staring at Li Zhen coldly, and spoke with a sigh, “No wonder the teacher always said that you are a rare talent in the world, you can have such a powerful ability.”
Not caring what he was sighing about, Fang He instantly threw several lightning balls and aimed them towards Cheng Qidong. But the scene that unfolded shocked them unexpectedly. All the lightning balls instantly stopped in midair, as if they had broken into some kind of energy field. Cheng Qidong grabbed them completely unimpressed and then destroyed them with ease.
Domain power…
Fang He remembered the mutant who could fight against Xiao Baiqiu. Could it be that the mutant was Cheng Qidong?!
Cheng Qidong looked at Fang He with a slightly surprised expression, “Beast Transformation or the zombie cat?”
As soon as Cheng Qidong spoke, a powerful mental force attacked Fang He.
At this moment, the five psychic mutants suddenly seemed like a battery that had been charged with a large amount of current. They exploded in an instant, and the powerful impact made Fang He roll several circles and landed in the corner of the walls, narrowly and dangerously avoiding Cheng Qidong’s attack.
Li Zhen turned around quickly and looked at Cheng Qidong, who had his own domain space and was not affected by the explosion in the slightest. Without saying a word to this scumbag, Li Zhen’s mind power immediately attacked.
Li Zhen glanced at Fang He in the corner who was affected by the confrontation of the mental forces. His heart trembled and he immediately said to Fang He, “Go to Wei Panjiang, I’ll deal with it here!”
Fang He saw that he would only hold Li Zhen back and prevent him from dealing with Cheng Qidong with all his strength. Fang He gritted his teeth and rushed out of the room, while enduring the pain from his head that was about to burst. Then Fang He shouted something that only Li Zhen could understand, “Go inside if you can’t bear it!” It was naturally a reminder for Li Zhen to escape by going inside the space.
As Li Zhen spoke, Cheng Qidong suddenly changed his body shape and approached near the meteorite, while his mouth said fire-inducing words, “You two are really excellent experiments.”
Li Zhen naturally saw Cheng Qidong’s movements but did not stop him. He only reached level four after absorbing the meteorite. Cheng Qidong, a level five mutant, obviously did not upgrade naturally. That kind of power, forcibly enhanced by swallowing other people’s ability cores, if he continued to use the meteorite, his self-destruction would only be a matter of time.
Here, Li Zhen and Cheng Qidong were fighting against each other. Meanwhile, Fang He quickly ran inside the laboratory that was destroyed beyond recognition by the lightning balls. Although there were still mutants who were brainwashed by Cheng Qidong, fortunately, Fang He was fast enough that they could not catch him. When Fang He ran to the place where Xiao Sang was locked up, he saw Xiao Baiqiu rubbing Xiao Sang’s hand like a spoiled child.
Fang He greeted two of them and quickly ran to his intended location. By the time he blasted through the thick walls of the lab with a lightning ball, Wei Panjiang and the others had just arrived.
“Little leader!” Yang Fei and the others called out in a low voice.
Wei Panjiang looked around stupidly, wondering where the big brother who loved to tease him was, when Fang He opened his mouth and said, “Speed up and act separately!”
“Yes! Little leader!” Yang Fei quickly followed the previous plan and led people to act separately.
Earlier, Li Zhen had shown them the structure diagram of the laboratory, and together with some information provided by Sun Peng before, they could roughly determine where the general experimental subjects were detained.
Wei Panjiang grabbed his old man’s arm, “Grandpa, am I hallucinating? That cat can actually talk!”
Old Man Wei looked at the figure that disappeared like a phantom, and nodded with relief, “My grandson is amazing!”
Wei Panjiang’s face was full of black lines. Countless vines were surging around, quickly invading various walls, without even needing a door, tearing apart the walls of each laboratory like demolishing a house.
Along the way, the mutant guards of various departments were killed by them. The whole laboratory was already in a mess, but when they rescued more people, Fang He felt that something was wrong. Fang He was shocked when he saw Wei Ziting following Wang Che. Except for the child rescued from the ongoing experiment, they didn’t find any other children!
Fang He ran to Sun Peng, who had been found and released, and his cat claws clung to Sun Peng’s clothes, “Where are the children locked up?!”
Sun Peng, who was finally rescued, was startled by the cat holding himself, and before he could even wake up from shock, he shook his head blankly.
Fang He gritted his teeth, and turned his head to Wei Panjiang and said, “You guys save people, I’ll look around!”
When he was in the laboratory before, he had to endure different experiments almost every day, so he had never been locked up and therefore did not know where the other experimental subjects were kept.
At the same time, Li Zhen, who was fighting against Cheng Qidong, looked at the situation that suddenly appeared in front of him. His whole person was so cold as if he was falling into an ice cave. Although he knew that what he saw was probably just an illusion created by Cheng Qidong’s spiritual domain, Li Zhen’s heart was still aching.
This was Fang He’s past. When Li Zhen passed through Fang He’s consciousness, he saw it clearly, but from Fang He’s own point of view. It was too simple, and he would instinctively forget some of the most painful parts, but now, Li Zhen was watching Fang He being pushed into one laboratory after another, while those lunatics were excitedly recording all kinds of data.
Li Zhen tried his best to stop them, but his hand went through them again and again. The grief suffocated him. He watched helplessly as the person he loved was torn to pieces by zombies and then regenerated. And he watched in utter despair as he was burned by a fire mutant and then had his scorched skin slowly peeled off so that he could recover on his own.
Why did they torture him like this? His He-miao was just a child. It was not his fault that he had an infinite healing body. How could they treat him like this!
Again and again, Li Zhen tried to hug the thin Fang He, only to touch an empty space. He watched Fang He being tortured by various experiments repeatedly. Li Zhen witnessed his young mind being cut open alive. The sadness and mourning made him want to tear all these lunatics into pieces and grind them into cinders.
His He-maio has always been so optimistic and he was a smiling He-miao. His He-miao who loved to collect all kinds of supplies. His He-miao who worked hard to live…
Thirteen years, one thousand seven hundred and twenty-three experiments!
Li Zhen held the thin young man who was gradually engulfed by mutant zombies. With a trembling voice, he said over and over again what he has been saying for the past thirteen years, it will be fine, everything will be fine…
